welcome to love worth fun with pastor teacher and author Adrian Rogers reaching out with God's love bringing people to Christ touching lives around the world and helping you find the answers you need today join us as we prepare to open God's Word and discover how your life can be changed forever by his great love worth finding would you take your Bibles and turn to Romans chapter 9 and when you found Romans chapter 9 would you look up here let me ask you a very serious and a very somber question has God created has God predestined has God ordained that some people are born to go to hell that there's nothing they can do about it it is all settled they are a pawn on the chessboard of faith is that what the Bible teaches absolutely not the title of our message today is predestined for Hell predestined for hell question mark answer no exclamation point you're not predestined to hell let's read here in Romans chapter 9 the first three verses I say the truth in Christ I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh may I say this friend that ours is the greatest mission on the face of this earth that is the salvation of lost souls our message is the greatest message that is the glorious gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our master is the greatest master that is Jesus Christ himself the church that's not interested in evangelism and soul-winning is not worthy of the ground that it occupies we are too Evangelos our mandate is to preach the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature the Bible says of that early church in those days the number of the disciples was multiplied in many churches it doesn't even make good addition we do so little with so much they did so much with so little they didn't have any colleges they didn't have any seminaries they didn't have any radio and television stations they had no printing presses they had no finances they had no prestige they went out to tell the message of a Galilean peasant a carpenter's son who was crucified and they went out against the Imperial might of Rome he went out against the intellectual intellectual sophistry of Greece and they they went out against the stiff-necked bigotry of the Jewish religion and it was said of them that they turn that world up side down now one of the leaders of that crew was a little Jew named Paul and what you have here in the scripture that I just read to you is the heartbeat of a soul-winner the heartbeat of a man who is interested in evangelism and getting souls saved and and I want you to notice the concern that he had look if you will in verse 1 of this chapter he says I say the truth in Christ I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost the Apostle Paul had a sincere concern for souls he said I I'm telling you the truth I'm not telling a lie if I would ask lift up your hands how many of you have a concern for souls almost every one of you would lift up your hand but you would have a twinge of conscience because your conscience would not bear you witness he had a sincere concern for Souls and look if you will he stedfast concern for souls verse 2 I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart the Apostle Paul didn't blow hot and then blow cold he wasn't up and down he didn't get under conviction when the preacher preached about it and then forgot about it when he got home and turned on the television he had a steadfast concern for souls and he had a sacrificial concern for Souls look if you will in verse 3 for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh if I understand plain English what the Apostle Paul was saying is this I would be willing to die and go to hell if my Jewish brothers and sisters could get saved that's sacrifice now I don't believe I could say that I don't believe I've come to that place but I believe that Paul was so full of Jesus that's what Paul said Paul said I'd be willing to take there hell if they could take my heaven that's exactly what Jesus did on the cross Jesus had a sacrificial concern for souls and and and Paul is so full of Jesus that he is concerned about lost souls but notice as we tighten the focus he's talking about his brethren his kinsmen according to the flesh he's talking about the Jewish nation because the Jews when they heard about God saving the Gentiles they were saying well what happened what happened all the promises to the Jews we're the chosen people has God forgotten us or has God failed to keep his word and his covenant and Paul is going to address that but when Paul addresses this message to the Jew he has a great message to those of us who are Gentiles into the Church of the Living God because in this we learn something of the character and the nature of God all true theology has to learn something it has to know something about the nature of God so that's what we're going to learn today as we look in this passage of Scripture three things about God and when you learn those three things about God your theology will come into a focus number one you need to recognize that God is the God of sovereign choices now write that down sovereign choices beginning now look if you will in verses 3 through 5 he says for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh who are Israelites to whom pertain at the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came who is over all God blessed forever now what Paul is just simply saying is that the Jews are the chosen people God chose the Jews whether you like it or not whether you believe it or not it is absolutely true there is a special people chosen and blessed of Almighty God they were chosen for purpose and they were given privilege and I want you to see the 9 special privileges that they had number 1 he calls them Israelites that's that's a name of honor Israel means prince and then it says they have the adoption that is God said of this nation God spoke of Israel as a son and then it says they had the glory that's speaking of the Shekinah glory of God that led them out of Egypt and into the land of Canaan and the Shekinah glory that dwelt in the tabernacle and in the temple then they had the covenants that is the the special agreements that God made with Abraham and God made with Isaac and God made with David God has made solemn promises to the Jews and then they have were given the law that's the the Old Testament law that is still today the standard for all good jurisprudence and and the foundation of all true law and then they were given the service that is the service of God the Levitical rituals and all of this that pointed toward the Lord Jesus Christ and they were given the promises God made great and wonderful promises to the Jews and then last of all is he saves the best for last they were given the Messiah of whom Christ came the Lord Jesus Christ in verse 5 he's just saving the best for the last I want to tell you the Jews are God's chosen people the Jewish nation is a God ordained God decreed God blessed God preserved God protected nation never forget it and God is not through with the Jew we're going to see more about that in chapter 10 and chapter 11 the Jew is God's chosen people if you want to know what God is doing in the world today just put your eyes on Israel the Jews God's yardstick God's blueprint God's program God's prophecy of what he is doing in the world now they are the ones that gave us the Messiah I was talking to some Jewish rabbis and they said we don't believe that you ought to be trying to win Jews to Jesus Christ and I said now wait a minute I said my Savior has commanded me to witness are you telling me I can't practice my religion if so that's religious persecution don't tell me that I can't practice my religion I said by the way I'm not trying to proselytize you the Jews proselytize me I worship a Jewish Messiah he is the one that came into the world he is the Messiah Israel's Messiah that I love and worship so God chose the Jew now let's continue to read here and we're talking about God's sovereign choices notice how God chose the Jew beginning now in verse 7 neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children but in Isaac thy seed shall be called now what he's saying is that not all the children of Abraham were chosen because Abraham had Ishmael and he had Isaac what he's saying is the God sovereignly chose Isaac God did not choose Ishmael and then go on God did not choose all the sons of Isaac but Isaac had two sons Jacob and Esau and God chose Jacob look if you will as we continue to read in this passage of Scripture we're looking in verses 10 through 13 and not only this but when Rebecca also had conceived by one even by our Father Isaac for the children being not yet born neither having done any good or evil that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works but him that calleth it was said unto her the elder shall serve the younger as it is written Jacob have I loved Esau have I hated so God God didn't choose all of the sons of Abraham he chose one son Isaac God didn't choose all the sons of Isaac he chose one son that was a Jacob now let's just pause right here because some people are going to get blown out of the water right here when God says before these children were born having done neither good nor evil God chose one of them and God says Jacob have I loved Esau have I hated now somebody says no wait a minute pastor you're telling me but one these little babies before they were born God said I love this one and I hate that one and that God chose one to go to heaven and one to go to hell know that in what it says now listen very carefully and pay attention what we're talking about here is national and not personal God when he's talking about Jacob and Esau God is not talking about one boy or another boy God is talking about two whole nations put this in the margin of your Bible Genesis chapter 25 and verse 23 and the Lord said unto her two nations are in thy womb and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels and the one people shall be stronger and the other people and the elder shall serve the younger that is those descendants of Esau are going to be one nation that will serve another nation the descendants of of Jacob which is the father of the twelve tribes of Israel now he's not talking about just two little babies God here is talking not personal but national and God here's not talking about salvation God is talking about service look if you will in verse 12 it was said unto her the elder shall serve the younger doesn't say anything about saved or lost one going to heaven and one going to hell it is national not personal it is service not salvation when you say but what about that where it says that he hates one and loves the other well I want you to pay attention to that also look in verse 13 Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated now folks the way we use the word hate today is completely different from the way they use the word hate in Bible times what he is saying is I have preferred one not that I abhor the other now listen very carefully I want to give you a scripture I want you to jot it down in Luke chapter 14 and Jesus is talking about our being disciples of of himself and he says this If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters yay in his own life also he cannot be my disciple now come up close I want to ask you a question do you think that Jesus is teaching us to despise our fathers and mothers our brothers and sisters do you think that Jesus is telling us to despise our little children in order to be his disciples no listen I love Joyce more than I could ever love Joyce because I love Jesus I mean I love Joyce with a love I could not love her with if I did not love Jesus the word hate as it is used in the Bible simply me preference uh God had a preference God had a sovereign choice for this man Jacob and he did not have a preference for Esau doesn't mean that he despised Esau he doesn't mean that it says he saw I created you to go to hell I hate you no that's not what its meaning at all friend number one this is national not personal number two it deals with service not salvation number three it deals with preference not despite if you don't understand that you're going to get all mixed up and all confuse but God is a sovereign God and God loves law sinners you've just read there in Romans chapter 5 verse 8 but God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us God loves sinners don't get the idea that Esau was predestined for hell and or anybody else is predestined for hell God chooses individuals God has preferences for Nations and it deals in the realm of service God I have two brothers God called me to preach God did not call so far as I know either one of my two brothers to preach God said I won't a dream to preach now that's God's choice God chose me I didn't choose to preach I've been called to preach does that mean because God called me to preach that God's going to send my two brothers to hell no he called me into service he said you've not chosen me but I've chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit what we're talking about here for him I want to tell you is national not personal it is service not salvation it is preference not despite now if you don't understand that you're going to get mixed up and so what we're talking about here is God's sovereign choices got it alright let's move to the second thing the second thing I want you to see is not only God's sovereign choices but I want you to see God's spotless character God's spotless character begin reading now in verse 14 what should we say then is there unrighteousness with God god forbid free Seth to Moses I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion so then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that your mercy for the scripture saith unto Pharaoh even for this same purpose have I raised thee up that I might show my power in thee that my name might be declared throughout all the earth therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy and whom he will he hardeneth wilt thou say then unto me why doth he yet find fault for who hath resisted his will but naome Anne who art thou that repliest against God shall the thing formed is saying to him that formed it why hast thou made me thus hath not the Potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour what if God willing to show his wrath and to make his power known endured with much long-suffering the vessels of Wrath fitted to destruction and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of Mercy which he hath afore prepared unto glory well let's just pause right there and talk about God's character somebody might not like God's choices in any realm and the Jews might say what right does God have to break his promises to us we're the chosen nation and what Paul is saying is your arms as one preacher said your arms are too short to box with God who are you that replies to God now listen to me folks God is sovereign God does as he pleases God answers to no one respect this that God is God and also remember this that God is not fair God is just if you think that God has to be fair you're thinking that God owes you something and if you don't get it you're all upset if you don't get it and if somebody else gets it before you do or gets more than you do then you're upset because you think that God owes you something God doesn't owe us anything but judgment God is not fair God is just and when you realize that God is just then mercy is going to mean something to you now what what is he saying here he's saying listen I am free to part and I am free to punish I am God and I will pardon whom I will pardon and I will punish whom I will punish no does that mean that God does that arbitrarily no God does as he pleases but he always pleases to do right there is no unrighteousness with God now God pardons according to his sovereign will look again if you will in in this passage of scripture verses 15 and 16 for you saith unto Moses I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion so then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God they showed mercy no what is he saying here does that mean that God says I'm not going to have mercy if you ask for mercy no does that mean that if you ask me for mercy I'll not give you mercy no not at all God is just simply saying that if you're saved you're going to be saved by grace it's not because you will to have that I should be merciful to you it's because I will it is not to him that will if but of God that has mercy you see listen God's mercy is not rooted in man's merit pay attention God's mercy is found in God because God is a merciful God put these verses down Titus chapter 3 and verse 5 it is not by works of righteousness that we have done but according to His mercy he saved us now that's that's what he's talking about here put this first down psalm 32 verse 10 many sorrows shall be to the wicked but to him that trusted the lord mercy shall come pass him about if you trust God he'll give you mercy now look at this one proverbs 28 verse 13 he the cover the sin shall not prosper but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy look up here let me tell you something if you want mercy you can have it you say well it's according to God who wills to have to show mercy that's right and God wills to show you mercy God is a merciful God now now listen to me pardon is according to God's sovereign will God has decided that he would show us mercy when we don't deserve it it doesn't rate a root in our merit but in his mercy but punishment is according to man's stubborn wickedness begin to read now in verse 17 for the scripture saith also in the pharaoh now you know who favored was he was the vile wicked king of Egypt and God now speaking to Pharoah even for this same purpose have I raised the up that I might show my power in thee and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy and whom he will he hardeneth now people have raised their theological motors on this they say oh god made Pharaoh raised him up so he could knock him down God created him so he could send him to hell no that's not what this says at all now listen when the Bible says that God raised up Pharaoh that doesn't mean that God grew him from a child that's not what the language means it means that God put him on the highest throne God gave him place and power and prestige that he might bring him down God set him up in order to bring him down God raised him up to the very highest throne now now what he's talking about is that he's going to be glorified by his judgment on this man put in your margin Exodus 9 verse 16 and here's what God says to Pharaoh and in very deed and for this cause have I raised thee up for to show and II my power that my name may be declared throughout all the earth by the way Cecil B DeMille made a movie of this call the Ten Commandments and God judging Pharaoh and it's been seen all over the world many people haven't read the book of seeing the movie now God did not override Pharaoh's a will 18 times in this passage in Exodus we find this phrase that and Pharaoh hardened his heart our Pharaoh's heart was hardened 18 times about half of those times Pharaoh hardened his own heart now you have to understand this that Pharaoh first hardened his own heart before God hardened his heart put these verses down for example Exodus chapter 8 and verse 15 but when Pharaoh saw that there was respite he hardened his heart and hearkened not unto them our Exodus chapter 8 and verse 32 and Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also neither would he let the people go now what happened is this that Pharaoh was already lost God didn't make him lost Pharaoh was vile wicked cruel he was a despot he had murdered thousands of people he had a heart set against God all the judgments of God upon Pharaoh all they did was to crystalize Pharaoh in his sin uh listen God did not harden his heart when he was young and tender when he was a child God witness to him God warned him God sent a messenger to him God sent the plagues but Pharaoh himself hardened his own heart God did not create Pharaoh and say I have chosen you that I'm going to send you to hell no God said I'm going to make an example out of you I am going to show my power in you are you hardened your own heart now as a reciprocal action I'm going to send a plagues that will even further harden your heart will crystalize you in sin and I'm going to use you as an example of my punishment now listen to me folks God is in the business of getting glory to him self God is in the business of getting Lord Himself God's love will be magnified in heaven and God's justice is going to be manifest in hell God said I raised you up but I might show my power in you but the only reason that God hardened Pharaoh's heart is that Pharaoh had already hardened his own heart now God has every right to punish sin God says I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy and and whom I will I will harden of course he does because he is the God who will give to us if we want mercy God will give us mercy if we harden our hearts God will further harden our hearts now let's give another illustration here I begin in verse 19 and and this is one that has caused many people to have difficulty thou wilt thou wilt say then unto me why doth he yet find fault for who has resisted as well if God is sovereign we're just we're just victims there's nothing we can do about it notice verse 20 but nay but o man who art thou that replies to gainst God shall the thing formed saying to him that formed it why hast thou made me thus hath not the Potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour what if God willing to show his wrath and to make his power known endured with much long-suffering the vessels of Wrath fitted to destruction and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of Mercy which he hath a for prepared unto glory now here's the idea some people have the idea that God says I'm gonna make two vessels I'm gonna make a vessel and send that vessel to heaven I'm gonna make another vessel and send it to hell people are just like clay weak helpless insensible clay and I am the Potter so I'm just take a lump of clay and I'm gonna make a vessel God made Adrian for heaven God made you for hell knowing about it it is that is that the kind of a God that is displayed in the Bible or in the book of Romans listen carefully folks and and understand what the Apostle Paul is saying here God did not ordain some for hell what Potter what Potter would ever make a vessel just so he could destroy it can you imagine a Potter and a Potter shop making a bunch of vessels and setting them on on the shelf and then making a bunch of other vessels and sending them on the shelf and then taking a stick and just breaking them all to pieces I mean that he set out to do that of course not uh God did not ordain some people to hell no listen the reason that some vessels were destroyed is they did not realize the purpose of the Potter look in verse 20 if you will of this same chapter shall the thing formed saying to him that formed it why has thou made me thus it doesn't say the thing created but the thing formed here God is shaping and some will not take the shaping look in verse 22 what if God willing to show his wrath and to make his power known endured with much long-suffering the vessels of Wrath God it was long-suffering God is forming working forming but these vessels of Wrath are not yielding to the hands of the Potter put down this verse 2nd Peter chapter 3 verse 9 the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but is long-suffering same word that's used over here in Romans 9 is long-suffering to us-ward not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance but you say pastor it says here that they were fitted for destruction look at look at this verse again and he talks about some vessels of Wrath fitted to destruction in verse 22 let me tell you what w/e vine in his expository expository dictionary of the New Testament word says and listen carefully to this the middle voice I know you've been warding all morning hear something about the middle voice but now listen carefully the middle voice indicates that the vessels of Wrath fitted themselves for destruction it is not the Potter who fits them for destruction they fitted themselves for destruction the Potter was long-suffering he did not create them he formed them but they were fitted that is they made themselves fit for destruction God does not create people in order to dam them God does not create people in order to destroy them God is a God of love now if you think that I'm not if you think that God wants them to go to hell just listen to the description it speaks of God who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth now you can't harden your heart the Bible warns against people being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin put this first down Hebrews chapter 3 verse 15 today if you will hear his voice harden not your heart I'm telling you if you harden your heart against God you will crystallize in your sin and God's judgment upon you will even harden your heart even more but God hardened Pharaoh's heart after Pharoah first hardened his own heart against the Lord and and and God destroyed Pharaoh yes he did because in the long-suffering of God and the warnings that God sent to Pharaoh Pharaoh would not accept those warnings and yes indeed he was made an example of God's wrath and remember this God is going to get glory with those in heaven and God is going to get glory by judgment and those who go to hell now here's the third thing I want you to see today remember God's sovereign choices God is sovereign God can choose whomever he wants for his service God chose Abraham God chose Isaac over Ishmael and God chose a Jacob over Esau God chose these for service not salvation that's not what he's talking about and and he's not talking about individuals per se he's talking about nations God is moving there's God's sovereign choices for him the second thing I want you to see is God's spotless character you'll never point a finger at God and say God is unrighteous no God is not in righteous God shows mercy upon whom he will show mercy to whom will God show mercy to those who repent of us in to those who want mercy if you want mercy you can have it and and God gives judgment to those to whom he will give judgment those who refuse him God is a sovereign God and some people say well God is too good to punish sin no God is too good not to punish sin God is righteous now here's the third and final thing I want you to see not only God's sovereign choices and not only God's spotless character but I want you to see God's steadfast concern what is God's steadfast concern well notice in verse 23 what is God all about and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of Mercy that is the people who are saved which he hath afore prepared unto glory that's what he's doing he's preparing us for glories all things are working together for good to make us like the Lord Jesus even us whom he hath called not of the Jews only he's trying to say to the Jews look you don't you've not cornered the market on this thing but also of the Gentiles as he says also in Oh see that is in Hosea I will call them my people which were not my people he's talking about us Gentiles and on her beloved which was not beloved God is saying I'm just going to take a bunch of folks but or not part of the Covenant promises of Israel and I'm going to include them in and it should come to pass that in the place where it was to them ye are not my people there shall they be called the children of the Living God he's talking about us folks what he's saying is I am in the purpose of taking both Jews and Gentiles and making them children of God this is God's this is God's steadfast purpose the highest privilege on earth is to be a son a daughter of God now I'm going to give you a lot of scriptures you write them down on the margin of your of your bulletins very carefully I'm just going to show you that God wants all people say that God didn't create anybody to go to hell the first one you've known since you were a child John 3:16 listen to it for God so loved the elect some wrong there for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that if a certain number would believe on him know that if whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved put this scripture down Isaiah 53 verse 6 all we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him on Jesus the iniquity of us all Jesus died for us all Romans 8 verse 32 he that spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all how shall he not with him also freely give us all things some people say Jesus didn't die for everybody he did he did 1st Timothy 2:4 it speaks of God who will have all men to be saved first John 4 verse 14 and we have seen and do testify that the father sent the son to be the savior of the world first John 2 verses 1 and 2 my little children these things write down to you that you're sitting on and if any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous and here's the propitiation that is the satisfaction for our sins and not far as only but also for the sins of the whole world that's the reason I am glad that I'm a gospel preacher for him that's the reason I can say to anybody any place anywhere if you want mercy you can have mercy if you want salvation you can have salvation if you want to be saved I'm telling you I'm the authority of the word of God that you can be saved and God closes the blessed book the book of the revelation in chapter 22 verse 17 and the spirit and the bride say come and let him that heareth say come and let him that is athirst come and whosoever will let him take of the water of life freely my friend who's ever will whosoever heareth shout shout the sounds spread the blessed tidings all the world around tell the joyful news wherever man be found who sever will may come and whosoever cometh and need not delay now the door is open enter why you made jesus is the true the only living way who's ever will may come who's ever will the promise is secure whosoever will forever must endure who's ever wilt is life forevermore whosoever will may come who sever will whosoever will send the proclamation over vale and he'll kiss a loving father calls the wanderer home whosoever will may come it is a liable to the character of god that god would say to a little baby never ever having been born done good nor evil you are going to hell and there's nothing you can do about it I don't believe that for one skinny minute I preach a gospel of whosoever will God is a sovereign God and there's God's sovereign choice there's God spotless character but friend there is God stead fast concern he wants people saved and he wants you saved and if you want to be saved I'm telling you he will save you today and he'll keep you and present your spotless before his throne would you bow your heads in prayer heads are bowed and eyes are closed would you begin to pray for those around you who may not know Jesus how many would say today Pastor Rogers I've
